ok well ive been talking to some of you about my idea to swap my automatic's t handle style shifter with a manual style knob and honestly it was aLOT easier then expected.
1st - take a flat head screw driver or somthing of this nature and wedge inbetween the bottom of the t handle and the lil chrome piece and push the chrome piece down, its gonna be hard so dont by shy about it.
2nd - after the chrome piece goes down, on the left and right sides of the shifter will be 2 small torx bit screws that you need to remove.
3rd - once removed the t handle will slide up but now you have to make the choice if you really wanna do it or not, your gonna have to cut the wire to the overdrive/hill assist button, you can rewire it later to a toggle switch.
4th - ok now that everything is off you have a metal pole that holds the plastic rod that presses down to change your gears.
5th - heres what i ended up doing, i went to pepboys bought a knob that fit 5/16 - 9/16 shifters so it came with lil adaptor pieces (which ended up being perfect) your gonna need you knob to have at least a 1/2'' hole at the bottom so i screwed in the adaptor and drilled out the bottom so it could slide through past the metal pole. then i used double bubble (epoxy) to insert the 3/8 fitting in the knob (3/8'' is the size of the plastic rod) then glued the fitting the the rod so it wont pop off and bazam all done
its pretty simple just gotta use some creativity
thanks for readin pictures will be below or be honest
